we were supposed to have breakfast included. When we went to the lobby, the manager told us that there would be no breakfast bar but we could go order from the menu to purchase. Super disappointing because we paid so much for one night.

The most convenient hotel - pet friendly and dogs stay on ground floor with an exit to outdoor walking area; easy free parking; convenient location to UF Vet School where I take my dogs; lobby bar. It has an area to purchase snacks and make coffee but does not serve any kind of breakfast. That is my only reason for 4 stars. Rooms are clean with coffee makes so I just bring my own bagels.
